For the Three Lions, for England, if you guys had to put together a starting 11 for Qatar 2022, then who would be in your starting 11 right now...this is merely for fun but I obviously wanna pick your guys' brains on this
................Kane Sancho...................sterling ....foden ...Henderson ...........winks Chillwell..maguire..Gomez..taa ...........Henderson Potentially rashford for sancho (my predicted euro 2021 lineup)
If I had to put it together even though I'm not English, it would look like this for me anyway GK- Henderson LB- Ben Chilwell CB- Harry Maguire CB- Joe Gomez RB- Trent Alexander Arnold CDM- Declan Rice LCM- Phil Foden RCM- Dele Alli LW- Callum Hudson-Odoi CF- Harry Kane (captain) RW- Jadon Sancho 4-3-3 formation I would go with
GK- Dean Henderson LB - Ben Chilwell CB - Harry Maguire CB - Joe Gomez RB - Trent Alexander-Arnold CDM - Harry Winks LCM - Phil Foden RCM - Reuben Loftus-Cheek LW - Jadon Sancho ST - Harry Kane RW - Raheem Sterling RLC has a ton of potential and think he would be a great fit in midfield. Grealish, Maddison, Dele, Henderson, are also good options. Heck, maybe even Barkley. Rashford and Hudson-Odoi will be great attacking subs. Could also see Tomori displace Maguire at CB.
Or another starting 11 I would go with for 2022: GK- Pickford (28 years old) LB- Shaw (27 years old) CB- Tomori (24 years old) CB- Maguire (29 years old) RB- Alexander-Arnold (24 years old) CDM- Declan Rice (23 years old) CM- Phil Foden (22 years old) CM- James Maddison (26 years old) LW- Marcus Rashford (25 years old) CF- Harry Kane (29 years old) (captain) RW- Jadon Sancho (22 years old) Youthful but inventive side that I have put together for you Three Lions
Sterling has been very good for England since 2018 and will still be in the prime of his career while Winks isn't a flashy player, but his ball retention skills are invaluable to a team like England who struggles to keep the ball.
Or another 23 man squad for England Starting XI (4-2-3-1) (Qatar 2022 ages) GK- Dean Henderson (25) LB- Ben Chilwell (25) CB- Joe Gomez (25) CB- Harry Maguire (29) RB- Trent Alexander Arnold (24) CDM- Jordan Henderson (32) CDM- Harry Winks (26) LAM- Jadon Sancho (22) CAM- Phil Foden (22) RAM- James Maddison (26) CF- Harry Kane (29) Bench GK- Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope LB- Danny Rose CB- Fikayo Tomori, John Stones, Tyrone Mings RB- Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier DM- Declan Rice FW- Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Tammy Abraham
Looks nice but maybe sancho and sterling on the wings or rashford many team would be ..................Kane Rashford...............sterling ..........foden....Henderson ..............:......winks Chillwell..maguire..Gomez.taa ................//Henderson
Pretty good bench as well sterling, abraham, maddison, saka, mount, stones, cheek, pickford, james, Greenwood, odoi, tomori
Yeah the bench would have depth...that is how deep this England team would be which would make them dangerous
A player I'd love to see turn his game around and fulfill his potential is Tashan Oakley-Booth. He is exactly what England needs as a central defensive midfielder who is athletic and so good at keeping possesion. He was what completed that great U17 team in 2017.
